Netflix shares were rising in late trading, after the media distribution company reported its second-quarter earnings, and reported that its total membership crossed the 50 million mark, driven by strong growth overseas.

Shares were up bouncing around amid heavy trading, lately up 0.6% at 454.51.

For the quarter, the company earned $71 million, or $1.15 a share, on revenue of $1.34 billion, up from $29 million, or 49 cents a share, on revenue of $837 million (you can read the company’s shareholder letter here). Street consensus was for earnings of $1.14 a share on sales of $1.34 billion.

The company finished the quarter with 36.4 million members in the U.S., up from 29.8 million a year ago, and 12.7 million overseas, up from 7.8 million a year ago.

For the third quarter, the company expects to add another 1.3 million subscribers.

The company said the growth was coming on the back of its original programming, shows like “Orange is The New Black,” “Hemlock Grove,” and “House of Cards.” Importantly, the firm noted its U.S. margins in the quarter expanded, by 460 basis points, to 27.1%. “Revenue continued to grow faster than spending on content and marketing,” the firm said. The costs of original program have been a key concern for investors and analysts. The company even noted that it raised prices “modestly” for new members, and it had “minimal” effect on membership growth.

CEO Reed Hastings and CFO David Wells will be conducting the company’s version of a conference call at 5 p.m. ET, when the two men will participate in an interview streamed over the company’s service as well as its YouTube channel.
